Ingredients
- Gather Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready for use.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Coating: Place the beaten egg in a shallow dish. In a large zip-top freezer bag, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip two chicken strips into the egg, then transfer them into the panko mixture. Shake well to coat evenly. Repeat with the remaining chicken strips.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, then flip and bake for another 7 minutes until fully cooked.
- Broil for Extra Crunch: Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Broil the tenders for 1 to 2 minutes for a crispier finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve hot.
